On the Osborne side she is of Portuguese Jewish and Scots-Irish descent. I think both Leopold and Julia were half white, half black.
How much African ancestry does she actually have?? What is this one-drop rule fetish in 2019? People don’t buy that stuff anymore, Follers.
There are some profiles who are listed as African-something before anything else instead of a more accurate “distant African” or something. That is ridiculous, racist and offensive for real Black African people LMFAO.
Isn’t it just alphabetized?
I hope so. It wouldn’t be a bad criteria, though.
